The course was suffering
from less than normal rainfall with greens having had to be hand
watered, but it was the same for all & the caterers were in good
form, so thanks to the club for looking after a big field.

The weather looked a bit
uncertain, but cleared up to a fine day, if humid, which did not deter
a good field of 121 men & 21 women.

Welcome also to new
members, Rodney Painter of Half Moon Bay, Russell Edwards, of Cairns,
Peter Handley of Gordonvale, & Alec Ford & Jeff Murray of
Mossman. Our membership for the year now stands at 216.

If
you are looking for a game next week, the Tablelands Summer of Golf
has an event at Atherton on Tuesday 26th
March.

Despite
the forecast for the weather to mirror yesterday, ie clear in the
morning with rain coming in later in the afternoon, a considerable
number of wimps must have disbelieved it, expected to get wet &
stayed away today!

This
resulted in a poor field of 8 ladies & 50 men who enjoyed a
pleasant day with no rain on a course in good condition, especially
considering the amount of rain that had fallen there yesterday. Well
done the greens staff. As a result of the low numbers, prizes were
awarded in only 2 divisions.

Thanks
to Owen & Debbie for looking after us & keeping up with the
sandwiches. Thanks also to the club for sponsoring the event.

Welcome
to 10 renewing members & to one new one, Barry Shaw of Half Moon
Bay. Our membership so far for this year stands at 181.

Our
next game is at Half Moon Bay golf club on 19thMarch, but if you can't
wait that long, the next Tablelands Summer of Golf game is at Millaa
Millaa on 12th
March.

Our game next Tuesday is at Atherton golf club & is a VSS (also known as par or plusses & minuses round).

ie If you get a par on a hole you have a stroke on, you mark it as a +, if you get a bogey you mark it as a o, & if a double bogey, as a -. Instructions will be available at registration.

The synoptic weather chart seems to indicate that the present trend will continue of clear, if humid, in the morning with rain coming in after noon. Atherton advises that the course is fine after a big downpour today (Monday pm).
